When using GPS Visualizer for getting multiple GPS coordinates, which map source provides the better information as the source, Google or Yahoo? If you use both sources on different runs with the same data, they often give different coordinates.

Toss Up

In my experience using them both, neither is perfect. Each one gets some locations right and other locations wrong.

I will usually check one against the other. If they both find the same coordinates, I leave it alone. But if they are different, then I start doing manual checks using MapQuest, MS S&T, Google search, company websites, anything else to try and verify the coordinates.
